Ogh’s Twitch integration lets you stream directly to your Twitch channel without entering a stream key by hand. Ogh uses the Twitch Device Authorization Grant, a flow designed for devices and native apps: your browser opens the Twitch verification page, you enter a short code and approve, and Ogh handles the rest. There is no redirect URI and no client secret involved. Once connected, Ogh fetches your stream key in memory before each session so you never have to manage it yourself.
Twitch uses Device Authorization — no browser redirect, no client secret. Ogh opens the Twitch-provided verification page directly in your browser.

​
Connect your Twitch account

1

Open Settings > Platforms

From the Ogh Preview screen, tap the Settings icon, then tap Platforms.
2

Tap Connect next to Twitch

Tap Connect beside the Twitch entry. Ogh requests a device code from Twitch and displays a short user code on screen.
3

Authorize in your browser

Your browser opens the Twitch verification page. Enter the code shown in Ogh and tap Authorize to grant Ogh access to your channel.
4

Ogh confirms the connection

Ogh polls Twitch for confirmation. Once Twitch reports that you have authorized, Ogh stores your account record and creates a Twitch destination. Your channel name appears in Platforms to confirm the connection.

​
Permission Ogh requests

Ogh requests the channel:read:stream_key scope. This allows Ogh to read your channel’s private stream key. No other permissions are requested.

​
What Ogh does with your Twitch account

  • Reads your stream key immediately before each session starts. The key is held in memory only and is never written to disk.
  • Forms the Twitch RTMP ingest endpoint in memory using the retrieved key. The endpoint is cleared as soon as your session ends.
Your Twitch stream key is never written to disk. It is held in memory only during a live session and is cleared when the session ends.

​
Disconnect Twitch

1

Open Settings > Platforms

Tap the Settings icon from Preview, then tap Platforms.
2

Tap Disconnect next to Twitch

Tap Disconnect. Ogh sends a revocation request to Twitch, then deletes your local tokens and account record. The Twitch destination is removed.

​
Troubleshooting

The device code expires before you authorize. Device codes have a limited validity window. If you see an expiry message in Ogh, tap Connect again to request a fresh code and restart the flow. You denied authorization on the Twitch verification page. Ogh returns to the ready state without creating a destination. Tap Connect whenever you are ready to try again. Ogh shows a polling error. Twitch occasionally asks clients to slow down polling. Ogh handles this automatically, but if the error persists, tap Disconnect (if a partial record was created) and then Connect to start a clean flow. The Twitch destination disappears after reconnecting. If your authorization token expires or is revoked on Twitch’s side, Ogh will fail to retrieve your stream key at session start. Go to Settings > Platforms and reconnect your account.
